Join us for two distinct voices: Zola Rosenfeld’s tender\, literate indie-folk and Carl Franzen’s wide‑ranging\, story-driven songs. \nMusician Bios: \nZola Rosenfeld- Born in San Francisco (c. 2000) and made in Minneapolis (c. 2021).  Zola’s indie sound resonates somewhere in the realm of acoustic Elliott Smith and Aimee Mann. Skating the dichotomous line of opacity and vulnerability\, her lyrics explore identity\, memory\, and biting self-reflection. A self-taught guitarist and songwriter\, her artistic roots trace back to an early love of Shakespeare\, short-story writing\, and classical voice training. Devoted caretaker of a geriatric cat. \nCarl Franzen- I’ve met many songwriters who understand the way a song is supposed to be structured\, or how to appear on stage\, or have vocal cords that can go full throttle night after night. I don’t compare very well on those terms. The advantage I have is that I don’t put myself in a box. I write about the world as I see it\, with a changing menu that changes my perspective. I’ve written songs about God\, the Boundary Waters\, the day the bridge came down\, an all-night-café waitress\, a speed skater\, small towns. the ICE invasion\, and the wondering if the Declaration of Independence is a break-up letter or a love letter. In other words\, a collection of poetic\, irreverent\, historical\, argumentative\, and hopefully memorable songs where the audience plays a vital role\, listening with heart and ears. \n  \n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button\nNote- After purchase\, tickets & receipt may arrive in your ‘Junk Mail’ folder  URL:https://amsstory.com/event/summer-music/ LOCATION:AMSS\, 1762 Hennepin Ave South\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55403\, United States CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amsstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Zola-Rosenfeld-Carl-Franzen-e1779328856319.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="American School of Storytelling":MAILTO:americanschoolofstorytelling@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260604T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260604T203000 DTSTAMP:20260519T234835Z CREATED:20260426T215940Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260519T234835Z UID:10000644-1780599600-1780605000@amsstory.com SUMMARY:Ken Takata Ensemble "Music & As You Like It" DESCRIPTION:In this show\, we’re featuring the many songs in one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies\, As You Like It. Most are new compositions\, a necessity given that almost all of the original stage music has lost\, but we will also feature a setting by Thomas Morley of “Under the Greenwood Tree” from 1600 that Shakespeare might have used. \nBesides illustrating the musical styles in Shakespeare’s day\, Morley’s song also gives us clues about how to handle one of the play’s central staging questions\, namely: \nQ: how do you portray the Forest of Arden\, the main setting for the play?\nDo you choose\n• a realistic forest\,\n• a symbolic “forest of the mind\,” or\n• a forest that’s a disguised version of Duke Senior’s court? \nThe answer\, somewhat surprisingly\, can shift depending on what music you use. We’ll show this by performing several different settings of the same texts so that audience can hear this in action. \nBesides songs from As You Like It\, we’ll also feature material from other plays. Musical styles include glam rock\, Western swing\, European art song\, early 1950s R&B\, Scots-Irish folk music\, New Orleans piano ballads\, bossa nova\, Weimer cabaret\, jug band songs\, homages to the Second Viennese School\, period correct (i.e.\, circa 1600)\, parodies of radio ads from the 1940s\, and several other genres\, in other words\, a little something for everyone. \nPerformances from Sarah Callahan\, Sophie Caplin\, Laura Lenz Landstad\, and Sarah Zuber.\nMore details at https://kentakata.com \n  \n\n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button\nNote- After purchase\, tickets & receipt may arrive in your ‘Junk Mail’ folder  URL:https://amsstory.com/event/ken-takata-ensemble/ LOCATION:AMSS\, 1762 Hennepin Ave South\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55403\, United States CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amsstory.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Ken-Takata-Ensemble-As-You-Like-It-e1777944537968.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="American School of Storytelling":MAILTO:americanschoolofstorytelling@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260417T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260417T203000 DTSTAMP:20260320T013425Z CREATED:20260220T014149Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260320T013425Z UID:10000626-1776452400-1776457800@amsstory.com SUMMARY:Kismet Rendezvous DESCRIPTION:Kismet Rendezvous\, Twin Cities based Blues and Americana duo Lonesome Dan Kase & Dawn Tanner will be performing music and excerpts from Dawn’s book “Into the Undergrowth”.

Their live performances are an equal measure of lyrical ballads\, country-swing and old time fiddle tunes woven together with threads of explosive instrumental improvisation.  As the legendary Jesse Ashlock\, who performed with Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys remarked\, “You guys got an entirely different sound and I like it.” And then with a twinkle in his eye\, replied\, “After sitting and listening to you play Pete\, looking back\, I should have never picked up the fiddle.” \nNow fifty-years later\, Larry Long and Fiddlin’ Pete Watercott have come back together with bassist Larry Dalton for this 2024 Reunion Tour to celebrate five-decades of friendship.  They are also releasing their new live acoustic recording entitled  ‘As In Those Early Days’\, which they recorded along the banks of the Mississippi Rivers through the good graces of Brett Huus\, Soundstrations Audio. \n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button.
